Chapter 450: Chapter 310: From Now On, All Killers of the Zhuanlun Lineage Are Zuo Youyan_2

He clearly followed Gu An, but why was it a strange man?

And why was there no karma on his body?

"I led you here," said Gu An softly.

"Do I have a grudge with you, sir?" the man asked.

Gu An looked at him and said, "Are you from the Zhuanlun lineage?"

The man nodded: "What guidance does sir have for me?"

Gu An asked, "Do you know how to dispel the influence of karma?"

"I do not," the man shook his head.

"How many from the Zhuanlun lineage are still in the Cangmu Sect?" Gu An inquired further.

The man chuckled disdainfully: "Who do you think you are? Merely at the Early Stage of Returning to Void, do you really think you can parade yourself in front of me?

Although I do not know who you are, I came looking for Gu An, and presumably, you must know him.

No matter, apprehending you before I find him is just as feasible.

I just so happen to be lacking Spirit Stones recently, and here you are delivering yourself to my door."

With that, the man let out a haughty laugh, made his move first, taking the initiative.

Gu An sighed, not expecting the opponent to be so unwilling to delay, opting to start the fight immediately.

This left him unable to ask more questions.

Moreover, he couldn’t say too much, as he was now from the Demon Sect, and who are the Demon Sect?

Naturally, they are the villains in countless people’s hearts.

And villains often die from talking too much.

Feeling the force of the oncoming power, Gu An did not dare to underestimate it.

Then, with a thunderous roar.

Countless sparks exploded in the sky.

Flames were roaring everywhere, and Gu An quickly dodged, trying to attack forward.

However, suddenly a Spirit Sword appeared, aiming straight for his neck.

Gu An was astonished.

Such a fast sword.

Vertical Earth Golden Light.

Then, with a leap, he came up behind the Spirit Sword, reaching out and grabbing the hilt.

In an instant, he approached wielding the sword.

At this moment, the man began to conjure again, with thunder roaring down.

Gu An swung the sword in his hand, booming and booming.

One after another, thunder strikes were severed by Gu An, his pace not slowing in the slightest, and in the blink of an eye, he was in front of the man.

Defensive layers had already stacked around the man.

Gu An frowned and kicked out.

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

The immense force shattered the first three layers of defense, and then the man was sent flying backward.

Feeling the strike of this kick, the man was shocked and dared not hesitate, ready to burn his life to exchange for even more immense power.

Gears began to spin at the location of his chest, as power started to emit.

However, before the power fully manifested.

Gu An had already appeared before him, and then slashed with his sword.

Bang!

Sword light enveloped with Gang Qi struck the protective Magic Treasure.

Crack!

The floating shield cracked and shattered on the spot.

And then the armor on the man’s body also lost its luster.

Seeing this, the man, in horror, spoke: "Fellow daoist, wait a moment, I know of an Immortal Mansion, I am willing to..."

Boom!

In the moment before he could finish speaking, a sword strike severed his neck.

The man’s voice was abruptly cut off.

Then the inside of his body was crushed by Gang Qi.

At last, he fell to the ground, gradually losing consciousness.

Gu An looked at him and calmly said, "A single sword beheading, I did not torture you, you might feel some discomfort, but bear with it, and it will pass."

After these words, Gu An couldn’t help but feel emotional: "I am indeed still kind-hearted, unable to bear seeing others suffer."

In the end, the man completely lost consciousness.

Gu An took the man’s Storage Treasure and then had the Red Armor Soldiers come out to clean up the battlefield.

However, after only a glance at the man’s Storage Treasure, Gu An fell silent.

The man did not lie to him, he truly was poor.

Three thousand Spirit Stones?

Early Stage of Returning to Void?

Yet the power that the man released at the final moment was comparable to Mid-stage.

Had he used it from the start, Gu An himself might have been in danger.

Moreover, there was a book inside with four large characters written on it—Reincarnation Technique.

Gu An glanced over it and found out that it actually used life to feed the gears, which then drove the body, thereby unleashing potential and power for cultivation.

Such a thing felt all too wrong.

It seemed as though everything relied on this gear.

But what if one succeeds in cultivation without the gear?

Would the cultivation level still remain?

At the very least, it would decrease significantly.

"Evil Skill," concluded Gu An.

Such techniques, were not the right path.

If it were merely the burning of life, Gu An would consider it a formidable Immortal Law.

But this gear gave off a peculiar sensation, as if it was parasitizing the human body.

Gu An specifically checked the gear in the man’s body.

He found it to be already shattered.

No way to research.

But there’s a clean gear on me that probably hasn’t been claimed by an owner yet, meaning it might be used to absorb disciples.

It happened to fall into my hands.

As for the Immortal Mansion the other person just mentioned, Gu An didn’t take it to heart.

He’s a bit poor, but he doesn’t need that many opportunities.

Too dangerous.

Moreover, as a minor Early Stage of Returning to Void, he couldn’t grasp it.

Afterwards, Gu An collected the Blood Spirit.

He sensed there was indeed something strange on the Blood Spirit, he could vaguely feel it, but he couldn’t fully perceive it.

He then sealed the item into the Second Star.

He would take it out when he needed it next time.

This way, Zuo Youyan would be the one responsible for the killings.

The Zhuanlun lineage would have to target Zuo Youyan for their killings, too.

Later, he returned to the talisman shop and continued to watch the shop.

He chatted with the shop owner in the meantime.

The owner asked if Gu An wanted to learn talisman making.

Gu An shook his head.

He tried it briefly and found he didn’t have the talent for it.

The owner then asked if he wanted to try other professions, such as Alchemy, Forging, Planting, and so on.

Gu An was somewhat interested, but he didn’t have that much time.

Although his luck was a bit better than others, and he didn’t need to consume Elixir Pills day and night in cultivation, he did need to engage in logging day and night.

So...

For a profession like Alchemy, which requires a lot of time, Gu An really had no interest.

But he also needed to find some trees.

Chu Meng mentioned last time that Luo Sheng Hall had temporary Disciple experiences.

Although the reward was gone, it might still be worth a try.

Unknowingly, he began to make arrangements above his superiors, not sure if the superior would be angry.

It was still unclear what realm the superior had attained.

He couldn’t see through Foundation Establishment, couldn’t see through Golden Core, couldn’t see through Primordial Spirit, and still couldn’t see through even after achieving Returning to Void.

Nor did he know in which realm she had stopped.

To say that she had no problems, Gu An didn’t believe it.

Young as she was, having celestial cultivation definitely meant there was a problem.

But he dared not ask, nor dared to think too much.

Anyway, he first needed to improve his cultivation, then once he could see through the superior’s cultivation, he would be safe.

Besides, he hadn’t seen that woman for a long time, and he didn’t know what her cultivation was.

He wondered if surpassing Chu Meng meant he could also surpass that woman.

Afterward, Gu An chatted with Qin Shufu about some affairs in Qingmu City.

He said that a new tea house had recently opened, and the people pouring tea inside were all Sect Disciples.

He mentioned that it might be run by the Joy Sect.

The tea there was unlike any other.

Gu An listened for a long time before he detected the underlying issue.

He was wholeheartedly devoted to the True Dao, and yet this person actually intended to disturb his dao heart.

...

Qingmu City.

At the outskirts, there were some fairly dilapidated houses.

The coughing Mother Zeng leaned wearily against the bed, her complexion slightly pale.

These days, she had been sleeping nearly all the time.

She would occasionally become aware of her daughter’s return, but she just couldn’t wake up fully.

She felt that her status was not very good.

At the moment, she was somewhat thirsty, but unable to get up.

As for asking for help.

Having lived here for quite some time, no one had come back to see her.

Everyone in the family had Cultivators, all Qi Refinement powerhouses; they would occasionally greet her, but those who would take the initiative to come over for a visit were very few.

While Mother Zeng was still pondering how to get up, suddenly someone knocked on the door: "Auntie, are you home? I’m coming in."

Soon, the door was gently pushed open; it was a woman in her forties or fifties looking inside: "Are you awake, Auntie? May I come in?"

Mother Zeng nodded, although she didn’t understand why the person had come, she didn’t stop her.

It’s easy to offend people.

Then, the visitor made polite inquiries, even poured water for her.

However, before long, another visitor arrived, bringing some food and engaging in conversation.

After that, her small space was visited by one person after another.

Even the shift leader who had taken care of her in the past showed up.

She was surprised and flattered; after all, the visitor was a Cultivator with strong Qi Refinement.

The visitor also mentioned some past small grievances, hoping she wouldn’t hold them against him.

She dared not, and moreover the visitor hadn’t made things difficult for her.

At noon.

Zeng Lan returned.

By then, there was no one else in the room.

"Mother," Zeng Lan let out a relieved sigh, "You’re finally awake; you scared me to death."

Mother Zeng coughed weakly and said, "Xiao Lan, tell your mother the truth, did something happen?"

Hearing this, Zeng Lan said with confusion, "What are you talking about, mother?"

"It’s not, then why did those people come to see me? I’m an old woman, with no good relationship with them." Speaking, Mother Zeng looked earnestly at her daughter and asked, "Has something happened? Or do you think your mother is too lonely, and you gave them Spirit Stones to come see me?"

Hearing this, Zeng Lan shook her head with a smile: "Mother, you worry too much."

"Not so?" Mother Zeng asked in doubt: "Then why? A visit from one or two people is understandable, but why did so many come all at once?"

She had never imagined her house would have so many visitors.

Zeng Lan looked at her mother before her and spoke softly; "I’ve succeeded in Foundation Establishment."
